Spier & Mackay is slowly becoming famous as being one of the best values around when it comes to dress clothing. They have excellent shirts, suits, jackets, and pants and super reasonable prices. Just about SuitSupply quality (maybe a touch below), but at even cheaper prices. We discussed the brand in greater detail in the last time we covered them here on the site when we reviewed their Slim Fit Dress shirt…

By this point, most of you have likely heard about Combatant Gentlemen before, and also don’t have very positive things to say about them. For those of you that don’t know, this is just about everything you need to. So, what’s new with them? Well, like we spoke about last week, now they’re being sold and fulfilled through Amazon, and available on Amazon Prime with free 2-day shipping as well. And, presumably, they seem to have slightly new and updated products as well, boasting new materials, quality, and so on…

Most of you have likely heard about Combatant Gentlemen before, and likely don’t have very positive things to say about them. For those of you that don’t know, or would like a refresher, this is just about everything you need to know. So, what’s new with them?…

When it comes to the world of watches, there are really two different realms. There are automatic/mechanical watches, and then there is everything else. Yes, sure, there can be some super well-made, and very nice Quartz battery-powered watches. But nothing will ever come close to the engineering and precision of automatic watches, and the knowledge that the little thing on your wrist is powering itself through a series of intricate and tiny gears…

There are a surprising amount of men’s underwear and “essentials” companies these days. Each one has their own unique spin on the proposition, though, surely, they can’t all stick around for the long haul. Some will make it, while others will die out…

Jomers is one of those companies that has just been killing it lately. We’ve taken a look at them before, though this time we had much, much better results. So, what do I mean by “killing it”? Well, I would put it this way: Think about Bonobos. They have great clothing, with tons of fit options, but their stuff is super, prohibitively, expensive. In other words, it’s overpriced…

If you are a fan of menswear, you are likely aware of a designer by the name of Michael Bastian. He’s definitely amongst the higher end designers, but he has been known, on occasion, to dip into the lower end, mid-range markets as well. This can be seen by his collection of polos that he did for Uniqlo a few years back (and actually for a few years in a row, as well)…

As soon as we heard that GQ would be getting into the subscription box game, you knew, of course that we would have to take a look and review it for you guys. We were, as it happens, super, super impressed with the first box. And, now, the second box has arrived. GQ’s box delivers every quarter, as opposed to the more common monthly boxes you might be used to. It’s called, as always, the GQ “Best Stuff Box” and it will run you $50 per box…

Because I really wanted to nail the fit, I decided to go back to their store in order to be fitted a second time and be able to make the tweaks with their staff, in person. While booking appointments is sometimes annoying there, and not every staff member is as knowledgable or as helpful as the next, it was still better to go in person than simply make these tweaks over the phone or email with customer service…

Indochino could be a case study in what happens when you expand a new business too quickly. They reached too high, flew too close to the sun too quickly, and got burned. A brief search on the web will turn up countless horror stories about Indochino suits that fit terribly, inconsistent sizing from one order to the next, cheap materials and build quality and construction, and poor fabric choices and matching…

The new age of digitally vertically integrated companies has allowed us, as men looking to dress better, to gain access to really high quality garments, shoes, and so on at radical prices. We’ve been able to get quality far past what we are paying due to the fact that these companies have cut out the middle man…

Ministry of Supply is a company that’s famous for bringing some of the best tech to clothing out there. Their pants are outrageously comfortable and stretchy, and their shirts bring that same high level of tech to the table. We’ve had mixed feelings about Ministry of Supply in the past, loving some products, while finding others to be just mediocre and overpriced…

The much beloved DTC boot company called Thursday Boot Co. has recently just expanded into making men’s dress shoes as well. Of course, this is a natural brand extension for them, but that doesn’t mean that they would do a great job necessarily…

Many guys really love the chinos that J Crew makes, and with their recent price cuts, they are more enticing than ever. This is not to mention the fact that J Crew recently introduced a new fit for their chinos called the 770. But first, some much needed background…

Yes, there are great debates whether or not wearing an undershirt is better or worse for dealing with the heat. On one side, of course, is the argument that undershirts help absorb sweat and stop if from showing through your shirt, or, worse, staining it at the armpits…

A short sleeve button down shirt is a great option for the warmer weather. It’s a bit more put-together than a polo, without the full-on stuffiness of a regular, long sleeved button down. Plus, if you get it in either bold prints, or very subdued solids like white or pink, it’s a great, casual option that can look great with a pair of shorts, just as quickly as it could under a blazer…

If you are like me, and require actually sized baseball hats as opposed to “one sized fits all,” you probably have a pretty hard time finding anything. Most all baseball caps I have come across are only available in a “one size fits all”, with that adjustable strap/tab at the back. This doesn’t work at all for guys with bigger heads, like myself, as, even if I could get the rear of the hat to fit, the front would look seriously out of proportion…

It is very important to have a good collection of jackets and coats. Depending on the weather, you might need one of a few different kinds of outerwear, and making sure you are ready whatever the weather might throw at you is key. So, getting a good jacket is important. There aren’t as many options out there when it comes to outerwear as when it comes to something like, say, a dress shirt, though…

It’s no secret that we think a polo is a great summer option. It’s the perfect top for the warmer months. It is neither too dressy, nor too casual. It can look just as at home paired with shorts and sneakers as it can under a blazer or even a suit. Still, not all polos are created equal. Some have different fits, styles — like pockets, thicker or spread collars, and so on — and, perhaps most importantly, different fabrics…
